I'm getting the funny impression that what distinguishes an algorithm from an AI algorithm isn't about the algorithm, but how people treat the algorithm. It's an AI algorithm if they describe it behaving intelligently i.e. painting numbers on a house, learning english first, being born, being tricked into painting a fence, etc. Otherwise its just an algorithm.

- Jtsummers 11y agoThis is an old problem in AI. Chess was an AI problem, until a computer beat a grandmaster. Vision was an AI problem, now we have OpenCV. Many AI problems get shifted out of "AI" once they're solved.
- dumitrue 11y agoI don't think OpenCV really solved computer vision to be fair. There's definitely no model out there that can do image-based question & answering as well as a human can, or interpret the contents of an image (parse it, if you will) in an accurate way, with the exception of very few special cases.
- im3w1l 11y agoOne explanation for this could be that we think that some problem is so hard that any solution to it is necessarily so complicated that it could be adapted to solve pretty much anything. When we realize that that isn't the case, we stop calling it AI.
- TheLoneWolfling 11y agoIt stems from our definition of an AI. An AI is a computer doing those things a computer cannot do. As such, anything that a computer cannot do isn't AI, and anything a computer can do isn't AI either.
- dtparr 11y agoHmm, the 'No true AI' fallacy, then, eh?
- TheLoneWolfling 11y agoPretty much, assuming you're making an analogy to the "no true Scotsman" fallacy.
- deepnet 11y agoLearning to do something is an AI problem. Writing a program to play Chess is not AI but doing so has helped figure learning out.

- 0xdeadbeefbabe 11y agoThis one can: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGrWHlAm7zM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGrWHlAm7zM (cartoon submarine character TV show) because it has large human like eyes.
